Hiding a Category

System Administrators and Course Creators are able to hide (archive) a course category. When you hide a category, all of the courses within this category (and sub-categories) are automatically hidden and learners will no longer be able to access these courses.

Step-by-step Guide

To hide a category:

1. Go to Site Administration > Courses > Manage Courses and Categories
2. Click on the "Hide" icon (eye) next to the category in question

Important Notes

• When you hide a category, all of the courses within this category (and sub-categories) are automatically hidden and learners will no longer be able to access these courses.
• You can unhide courses individually if you want to make certain courses visible again. If the courses are made visible, learners will be able to access them even though the category itself is hidden. However, users may not be able to navigate to the course in certain course catalogue pages if those pages organize the courses by course category.
• If you are assigned the role of Course Creator in the context of a course category (e.g. you are a Course Creator in the "Online" category only), then you must navigate to that category in order to hide its sub-categories.
